c) wars made it necessary.
d) of the innate desire to explore new lands.
e) all of the above

Answer 1

b) they needed great amounts of area with sufficient food for survival.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paleolithic period is the longest period in the history of humans which is distinguished by the use of stone tools. Paleolithic society was characterized by the mode of hunting and gathering which were the only possible source of food. Therefore humans have to worry about the resources present at a particular place. For example, they need to look for another lake when the fishes decrease in a lake. Food was important to keep the flesh and soul together and they need to travel in different directions to get sufficient resources.
